The decision is yours, but personally I say keep the I6....its a nice little engine, and there is the ability to get good hp and tq numbers out of the engine. I just bought a built 250 with headers, intake, 327 forged pistons and rods, balanced crank, roller aluminum rockers, and high compression head for a steal.....dare to be different! (plus, keeping the engine is more $$$ you can put toward other parts of the truck)
2wd with a 700r4 and an I6, with some decent gears should make for some very respectible mpg numbers too!
